Another cold-blooded killer? Falling coconuts. These hit people in the head too often, causing about 150 deaths per year.

Don't forget to err on the side of caution next time you're celebrating — champagne corks kill about 24 people each year.

And while lightning strike deaths have been declining in recent years, thanks in part to awareness campaigns about storm safety, the electric bolts still kill around 15 to 20 people per year — usually double the number that sharks do.
